Modular Production of Miao Women's Attire Tops in Shidong Guizhou
This paper used the modular theory method of Lothar Ledderose to summarize and analyze the modular characte-ristics in Miao costume from three perspectives,including thinking,pattern composition and mass production.The results show that the attire tops of Miao women in Shidong Guizhou exhibit characteristics of correlation and interchangeability in creative thinking,and can be divided into two forms of one-piece and split in terms of pattern composition.The embroi-dered patterns on the back collar and front placket of the tops are symmetry,the woven straps on the front placket show certain rules,and the embroidered patterns on the shoulders and sleeves are with identity.During the production process,the paper cuttings technology,embroidery technology,dyeing technology and cutting technology of the attire tops can all be produced through modularization.The research indicates that understanding traditional Miao costume through the module theory can help us identify key principles and innovative paths for the inheritance and continuation of the costume lineage.
